It has correctly been observed that it is impossible to save someone who does not truly wish to be saved! Whether drugs, alcohol or some other addiction, frustration awaits the individual engaged in an intervention with a loved one who is so deeply into a destructive behavior that he or she is not reachable. It is the definition of “futility”.
After 40+ years of attempting to reach my fellow citizens with the news that if we didn’t learn, understand, apply to our own lives and, most importantly, ENFORCE on those ordinary fellow citizens we periodically assign to go to the various seats of government to operate the CONSTITUTIONAL system the Founders sought to leave us, we would ultimately find ourselves precisely where we now find ourselves.
That we are not already further down the rat hole of total tyranny convinces me that, just as when Mr. Franklin reminded the others in Philadelphia that “...God governs in the affairs of men...”, despite our having turned our backs on Him, God is STILL governing in our affairs, hoping against hope that we will finally “get it.”
We still haven’t gotten it as too many of us silently watch the nation wiser men have called “A shining city on a hill” and “The last best hope for mankind” continue to disrespect and disregard Him and His laws and descend into a place from which few nations in history have ever escaped. It’s a well settled tenet of jurisprudence that silence is assent and that those who sleep on their rights forfeit them!
Ronald Reagan spoke eloquently of the problem thus:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our childrens’ children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
If a nation’s citizens — especially the young — can be indoctrinated to the point where they reject or loathe the symbols, customs, mores, faith and traditions that made their nation – warts and all – great, that nation will be ‘fundamentally transformed’ into something to which they would long to return but, because they are now slaves, cannot.
Will ours be the generation about which President spoke? If so, may I suggest cremation?
That would preclude any children who survive the ongoing government school socialist indoctrination from digging us up to spit in our faces!
I’ve been doing what I could for the past 4+ decades to warn those around me of what was ahead. As I did so, taking time away from my family doing what I saw as my duty as I also struggled to support my family, I was torn between two conflicting questions.
One was – and still is — are those around me who either refuse to grasp the severity of our situation (or don’t care!) worth my exertions and those of so many of my like-minded friends?
The other is that if we continue to TRY, could we help make that critical difference that will buy us enough time for the “slow learners” to come around and make the necessary corrections to turn the tide in our favor?
That’s really what the eternal struggle between good and evil has always boiled down to, isn’t it?
So we shall fight on to our graves. Why?
Because the alternative is unacceptable, to the extent our finite resources and resolve allow, we MUST!

> The views espoused by Muslims are virtually identical to that of modern progressive liberals.
Only because the Muslims are blending in and using them to accomplish their goals. As soon as their usefulness runs out they are toast.
That is a wealthy area. So are their Muslims running things there?
A good lawsuit for millions would be profitable and fix this.
Christians have been persecuted throughout time FRiend. Nothing new in the world. Same story, different players.
You are implying that islam is “the Antichrist”, are you not?
Antichrist is never used as a plural term if I remember correctly. It’s always singular. “The Mark” refers to some type of brand that you will have to have to buy or sell. islam is just another cult, definitely in the realm of insanity.
I'd come to that same conclusion in different words over several years of observing and learning more about Islam. Have often said that Islam takes the worst instincts of the human male and gives religious approval for it.
I like your thinking
Guess the ACLU and rabid Atheists are too busy to legally challenge this????
The 72 boys...that’s something I haven’t heard about...
Well except for the parts about cutting off appendages for theft, stoning women to death for adultery and such. That would kind of cut into the liberal base.
Someone should sue Allah.
Saying allah is the one true god is the same as saying satan is the one true god, no difference at all.
The moon logo associated with Islam, it turns out, was stolen from Byzantine Christianity by the Sultans after the conquest of Constantinople.
There is no evidence that there was a Quraysh tribe, that there was ever a specific individual named Muhammad (it is a title, not a proper name), or that this tribe or person worshipped the moon.
Much of what we "know" about Islam, after some critical analysis, turns out to be unsubstantiated.
I found this short video to be very interesting. Walid Shoebat has a very unique perspective concerning the antichrist.

Shoebat has a great understanding of Islam.
Yes the Arabic term "Allah" has pagan roots. So does the English term "God."
A clear First Amendment violation.
Jan_Sobieski, this isn’t directed at you, but at the article and a lot of posts already on the thread:
Allah is an elision of the Arabic definite article “al” and the generic Arabic word for (a) god, “ilah”. “Al ilah” becomes allah by a process that is common in Arabic of running words together. (The opening word of many suras of the Qu’ran is bismillah, which is a running together of individual word meaning “in the name of God.”)
Why the capitalized God? Because in Arabic as in Greek, the application of the definite article to the word for (a) god is used to indicate the unique existing deity in the same way the capital letter does in English. Thus the Arabic allah (no need to capitalize), the Greek ho theos, and the English God all have the same sense.
Arabic speaking Christians will use allah to refer to the All-Holy-Trinity *when speaking Arabic*, but will not pretend as the Mohammedans do that the Arabic word for God is the proper name of God. When speaking English an Arab Christian will say “God”, when speaking French, “Dieu”, Greek “ho theos” and so on. A Muslim will say “Allah” in any language because the false prophet he follows taught that the Arabic word for God is the proper name of God.
If one is speaking Arabic one calls God “Allah”, because that’s the word in Arabic denoting the one existing deity. If one speaks of “Allah” when speaking another language (save when quoting Muslims or using it to designate God as misconceived by Muslims) one is accepting the Mohammedan conceit that God’s proper name is “Allah” and with it the Mohammedan misconception of the one existing deity.
The place will become an ISIS breeding ground.
Whoa, this is my local school. I had not heard this. Horrible.
you all mooselimnb bastards,
F-you.
